CANE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 779,449, dated January 10, 1905. Application filed July 2, 1904- Serial No. 215,094.

To all whom it may concern" Be it known that I, ANTON WAGNER, aciti- Zen of Grermany,residingatOhligs, Germany, have invented a new and Improved Cane, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a cane which incloses a collapsible seat and which is so constructed that it may be readily manipulated for the removal or introduction of said seat.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved cane; Fig. 2, a longitudinal section thereof, and Fig. 3 a side view showing the seat spread open.

The letter a represents a flexible seat secured to converging arms 6, which are pivoted to a common slide (1. This slide, together with the seat when folded, is received within the hollow of a lower cane-section 0. A flap e, attached to seat (0, permits the latter, together with the slide, to be drawn out of cane-section c. The upper hollow cane-section g, carrying the handle, is adapted to be projected over the top of lower cane-section 0. This upper canesection is provided with an L-shaped slot f, engaged by a pin f on thelower cane-section c, the whole constituting a bayonet-joint. The lower edge of cane-section g has a fron'tand a rear notch h, as shown. 7

In use the upper cane-section g is given a short axial turn to carry the vertical section of slot f into alinement with pin f The upper cane-section is then raised as far as permitted by the slot and is then swung backward upon pin f which acts as a fulcrum. 'This tilting of section g is permitted by the front and rear notches it, that cause the lower edge of upper cane-section g to clear the upper edge of lower cane-section 0. After the upper cane-section g has been tilted in the manner described the seat a is raised and is opened out ready' for use, as shown in Fig. 3.

The tip of the cane-section c is preferably provided with spring-claws t', that prevent the cane from sinking unduly into the soil.

What I claim is- A cane composed of a lower hollow canesection having a pin, an inclosed flexible seat, an upper hollow cane-section adapted to be projected over the lower cane-section and having a notched lower edge, and an angular slot adapted to be engaged by the pin, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at Solingen, Germany, this 13th day of June, 1904.
